Coal-Expanded (Game mod for Factorio)

This mod attempts to make coal less of a storage hog while making it more useful as a fuel source by adding new recipes to create new types of coal by condensing it -- making it take up less space while also providing more fuel per unit.

Currently it adds 5 new fuels (aside from diamonds, they are real variations of coal -- in ascending order according to their purity and energy density):

1. Lignite
2. Sub-Bituminous Coal
3. Bituminous Coal
4. Anthracite
5. Diamond

Which are crafted by:

• 10 coal --> 1 Lignite (10x one piece of coal)
• 10 Lignite --> 1 Sub-Bituminous Coal (100x one piece of coal)
• 10 Sub-Bituminous Coal --> 1 Bituminous Coal (1_000x one piece of coal)
• 10 Bituminous Coal --> 1 Anthracite (10_000x one piece of coal)

• 10 Anthracite --> 1 Diamond (100_000x one piece of coal)

  The specific fuel totals are:

  • 1 coal = 4 MJ
  • 1 Lignite = 40 MJ
  • 1 Sub-Bituminous Coal = 400 MJ
  • 1 Bituminous Coal = 4_000 MJ (4 GJ)
  • 1 Anthracite = 40_000 MJ (40 GJ)

  • 1 Diamond = 400_000 MJ (400 GJ)

    Future Plans:

• Add to tech tree so that compression must be unlocked
• Add a compressor building for the coal compresion
